Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/HT201679 - lacking in specifics, the next link is better:
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - https://support.apple.com/HT204759
Forward attempts as an attachment to: reportphishing@apple.com

Apple e-mails address you by your real name, not something like "Dear Customer" or "Dear Client".
Apple e-mails originate from @apple.com or @itunes.com
Mouse over links to see if they direct to real Apple web sites.
Go to your account in the iTunes Store and look at your previous purchases: that will show whether this supposed purchase actually exists. It almost certainly doesn't - the email is trying to get your ID and password. Never respond to emails of this sort or follow any links - if you want to check anything go directly to the relevant Apple page.
You could forward this email as an email attachment to reportphishing@apple.com
